12th April 2010. Clear gold beer. No head and virtually no carbonation. Sigh! Light dry palate. Aromatic malt with a herbal honey flavour. Some nuts as well. A little bitter hop coming through in the dry finish. Floral as well. A slightly odd beer but it went down fine! This pint was 4.0% abv.

Cask-conditioned at the Knights Templar (JDW), Chancery Lane 9/04/10. Amber in colour with a decent, off-white head. A well balanced mix of bready malts and grassy hops, with a decent bitter finish. Good.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Gold amber colour with thin beige head. Decent bitter with biscuit malt. Actually this I think is rather good. A bitter with good hops and enough of a malt base. But the bitterness on the finish is really good. Really arrested me, very drying on finish, just surprisingly good.
